At the last city election, for instance,
no returns at all were published for two
days and complete retur ms for all officers
voted for were never published at all!
How is this for city Of 100000 inhab-

l am of course opposed to the capital
ist press as whole, but have some seri-
GUS advice to give to every citizen of
Denver who takes the daily press pub
lished here. That advice is to stop your
NsWs or Republican and send to San Fran
cisco for the Daily Examiner 1t will not
cost you cent more than your local jour
nails and it will give you more Denver
news than either or both Of them and
sooner! l read the result of our late
Denver election in its columns before I
read it in. the papers here.
The Examiner has the Herald dispatches
and reaches Denver three days before the
Herald can get here; it has special cor
respondents inevery city in the Union
who telegraph their news; it sends out
special trainsall over the coast to deliver
its papers and to gather information. 1t
is owned and edited by young, college-bred
and energetic men. 1t is news paper and
in my judgment head and shoulders above
every other daily in America, not perfect
of course, but striving and fighting for
place at the top. 1t has had sense enough
to ignore prejudice and engage Ambrose
Bierce and his blistsring pen; it has cour-
age enough to print all sides of public
questions; it is too clean to lie deeply
about current matters that really occur
and it rarely suppresses any news of in
terest.
There is not citizen of Denver nor a
farmer or miner or merchant between here
and San Francisco that would not get
more news and get it sooner if he dropped
the Denver dailies and sent in his subscrip-
ton for the San Francisco Examiner
l advise you all to do it. If You must
read the capitalist press, for goodness
sake, don't read those papers dishsd up by
editors" whose messes plainly evidence &
reversion to the intellectual typo of man
when he cracked the bones and ate the
marrow of the cave bear.
